Ingredients
- 3-pound turkey breast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 onion, roughly chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lemon, sliced
For a bit of a kick, you can substitute the black pepper with cayenne pepper or add a dash of smoked paprika for a deeper flavor.
Instructions
- Begin by patting the turkey breast dry with paper towels. This helps the seasoning adhere better, ensuring every bite is tasty.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and garlic powder.
- Rub the seasoning mixture all over the turkey breast, making sure to coat it evenly.
- Place the chopped onion and minced garlic at the bottom of your crockpot. This creates a flavorful base for your turkey.
- Pour the chicken broth over the onions and garlic.
- Lay the seasoned turkey breast on top of the onions, skin-side up.
- Add the lemon slices around the turkey for a fresh, zesty aroma.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Once cooked, let the turkey rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring moist and tender meat.
